how do you stop feeling needy
i have felt this way much of my life, i think because i never really got my needs met, never been in a relationship with a woman because i had long enduring mental problems, spent most of my twenties & thirties by myself...my only support is my elderly mum and dad who live far, i live alone and stay indoors all-the-time.
so i often have feelings of feeling needy and desperately wanting my needs met, and when that doesn't happen, i feel really angry and frustrated....i know that neediness scares most women away....but i don't know how to pull back on my feelings and stop feeling needy?....i don't want to end up alienating myself by scaring people away.
i often ring mental health hotlines because of this very reason, and when the line is engaged, which it often is because other people are phoning and using the service, stopping me from getting through...i feel angry with people for stopping me from getting through and talking, because i begrudge those other people because i think it's ' me' who should be getting my needs met not other people??
i know it's wrong to behave this way, but i do feel needy a lot, especially with desiring interaction with women......does anyone know how can stop feeling like this and pull back?
